Restrictions on our rights to own firearms were enacted for our protection. Thats the polite way to say it. https://www.congress.gov/bill/99th-congress/house-bill/4332/amendment 1. H.Amdt.777 — 99th Congress (1985-1986) Description: An amendment to make it unlawful for any person to transfer or possess a machinegun except in the case of a machinegun that was lawfully possessed before the date of enactment. ( 1986 ) Sponsor: Hughes, William J. [Rep.-D-NJ-2] (Offered 04/10/1986) Latest Action: 04/10/86 Amendment Passed in Committee of the Whole by Voice Vote. (All Actions) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_Owners_Protection_Act The Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 (FOPA) The Act also contained a provision that banned the sale to civilians of machine guns manufactured after the date of enactment, restricting sales of these weapons to the military and law enforcement. Thus, in the ensuing years, the limited supply of these arms available to civilians has caused an enormous increase in their price, with most costing in excess of $10,000. Regarding these fully-automatic firearmsowned by private citizens in the U.S., political scientist Earl Kruschke said "approximately 175,000 automatic firearms have been licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (the federal agency responsible for administration of the law) and evidence suggests that none of these weapons has ever been used to commit a violent crime."[3]: 85

Another good book. The US M3/M3A1 Submachine Gun: The Complete History of America’s Famed “Grease Gun” Hardcover – January 28, 2021 by Michael Heidler (Author)

These are the numbers I was given when I did mine. 1918 FA. .055/.063/.0725 OOW semi. .076/.0885/.093 I was told I could go to .110"

I have seen ArmaSteel M2HB barrel supports with that plum color.

Drott340, I have an NOS ITG barrel. I can get you some specific dimension if you want.

I think the flare gun looks like a Webley.

nate129, your Winchester 1918 has a steel receiver. A New England Small Arms is Armasteel, a type of cast iron.

Happens a lot in Hollywood. In Never so few, Steve McQueens Thompson. Screen shot from Colt forums.

A quick search turned up this. https://www.asraymond.com/blog/material-creep-what-is-it-and-how-to-prevent-it/

Open bolt would have fired when the bolt went forward. It sounds like it fires from a closed bolt. So is it a bolt hold open?

Hi Bauer, Is it repaired through the ejection port, magwell area?

There is a groove cut around each rod near the end. The back plate is pressed into that grove to hold them, but also allow them to move and play nice with the bolt. Hard to describe, they stamp a ring around the hole and it pushes the metal into the groove. Edit to add pics. I'll try again later

trouble loading pic.

Wow TGCJ, thats a great looking BAR.

Very nice. It must be a labor of love to make these. 1000 blanks, couple minutes of fun. Better get more. ; )

Google translate. here is a fabrication of a stock for a complete restoration of a UD I am missing the details either by plan or by photo of the reassembly diagram of the trigger parts. see you soon

Google search for M3 Grease Gun poster. It shows the spring position.

Gunpoker apparently has a legal dept. They post this at the top of there site * In accordance with Final Rule 2021R-08F items that fall under Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached “Stabilizing Braces” have been removed Click here to learn more. * With this as an example, do they police their ads. Are they required to?

Hi reconbob, I agree, If some inventive person can zip tie or duct tape a parts kit into a firearm, that would be readily completed. So then, this quote needs context. What defines "readily completed". How basic of a tool box and skill set do you need to reach this level. Is a welder required? A mill or lathe? Is a manual machine OK but a CNC not OK? Will the program to make a part be unlawful because it makes a piece of bar stock "readily" completed (or think 3D printing). I think of myself as an aspiring hobby gun maker (if there is such a thing). Like a model train maker or other craftsman.

Free legal advice on the web is worth what you pay for it. The "new" 24, Aug. ruling redefined a frame and receiver. On page 10 it says. In addition, the final rule addresses “partially complete, disassembled, or nonfunctional frames or receivers” and provides standards that the industry and the public can apply to better determine whether the component has reached the stage of manufacture to be regulated as a “frame or receiver.” • The rule makes clear that the “frame” or “receiver” includes a partially complete frame or receiver, including a parts kit, that is designed to or may readily be completed, assembled, restored, or otherwise converted to function as a frame or receiver, i.e., to house or hold the appliable fire control component. Page 15 Finally, the rule provides that prior determinations that a partially complete, disassembled, or nonfunctional frame or receiver, including parts kits, was not, or did not include, a frame or receiver prior to April 26, 2022, the publication of rule are not valid or authoritative. Clear as mud? This has nothing to do with importation demil requirements, but leaves the definition wide open to interpretation. It also talks about Privately Made Firearms. Page 20-21. Guns that are made for personal use, by unlicensed individuals.
